Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which banners convert best?
- Personalized and targeted banners (based on user behavior, demographics, or retargeting data) have higher CTRs.
- Animated HTML5 banners generally outperform static images when kept short and not distracting (animations should be subtle, so we don't cause anger and banner blindness). Don't overdo it.
- Clear CTA (Call to Action), for example: "Shop Now" or "Get Free Trial," increases conversions because it tells visitors exactly what action to take after seeing the advertisement.
- High contrast, minimal text, and a single focus point are proven to work best.
2. What are the best dimensions for a banner?
According to Google Ads and industry benchmarks, the top-performing sizes are:
- 300×250 px – Medium Rectangle (good for mobile and desktop)
- 336×280 px – Large Rectangle (high-performing format, great for content areas)
- 728×90 px – Leaderboard (ideal for top-of-page placement, perfect to highlight key promotions)
- 300×600 px – Half Page (excellent for brand awareness, strong visual impact, usually placed within product list)
- 320×100 px – Large Mobile Banner (optimized for mobile screens, better engagement on mobile than 320×50)
3. How can I easily create a banner in WordPress?
- Plugins: Professional Graphic Designer, Photoshop/GIMP, SkylarkAds Advertisement Banner Plugin
- Online tools: Canva, Figma, Adobe Express → export as PNG/JPG/HTML5 and upload.
4. Why is nobody clicking on my banner?
- Poor targeting (irrelevant audience)
- Weak or unclear CTA
- Banner blindness (people ignore generic placements)
- Low contrast or overcomplicated design
- Slow loading or broken tracking links
5. What is the best placement for a banner on a website?
- Above the fold - top of page, visible immediately after page load without scrolling
- In-content inside article paragraphs so it blends naturally with reading flow
- End of article for visitors that are engaged the most
6. Do I need a mobile version of my banner?
Definitely, absolutely, yes. Mobile traffic is often 60 to 80% of total visitors. A separate mobile optimized banner ensures:
- Faster loading
- Readable text without zooming
- Correct aspect ratio (e.g., 320:100 or 300:250)
8. How do I connect my banner in WordPress to Google Ads?
- In Google Ads, create a Display campaign and upload banner assets.
- Get the Google Analytics Tracking ID from Google Ads panel.
- Install SkylarkAds Advertisement Banner Plugin
- In WordPress admin panel, go to Settings → SkylarkAds Settings
- Fill in Google Analytics Tracking ID
9. How can I make a beautiful web banner?
- Use one main message
- Use 3 colors or fewer, preferably matching brand identity
- Use high-quality, web-optimized images
- Align elements to a clear visual hierarchy: headline → subtext / CTA
- Maintain plenty of white space to prevent the design from looking cluttered
- Test different versions (A/B testing) to see what works.
